During the month of October, months ago, one group started working to help the residents of Flint Michigan. They were caught red-handed doing this little thing called protecting everyone’s health but especially young children, pregnant mothers and infants.
Don’t worry. I’m sure this is the kind of work that still has Michigan advocates clamoring for Governor Snyder to defund Planned Parenthood.
Nothing says how much you hate life like being the organization trying to make sure children aren’t born with birth defects and a city isn’t poisoned.
But, you know, just Planned Parenthood. Doing Planned Parenthood things.
Update: Minor follow update. Some have complained to me about the title. As the ad notes, multiple organizations were involved. I’m singling out one for their participation, not that they were the only one, but that they were “one”.
Another minor note: the filters were provided through a group effort of several, including United Way, the Health Department, etc. However, Planned Parenthood helped arrange access, promoted, and made sure to get the information and units out, which is especially important to households of pregnant women and small children. Other groups credited Planned Parenthood with making sure they got into homes, making them the proactive agent in order to work to get these into the hands of people — and that deserves serious praise.
